Fabricio Werdum went into enemy territory and walked out with the prize at “UFC 188”, and he did it all with a smile on his face. Cain Velasquez lost his UFC Heavyweight Championship Saturday when he essentially dove into a submission in the third round.<\/p>\n

As Werdum was fighting off a takedown, he caught Velasquez’s neck and trapped him in a guillotine choke. Velasquez was forced to tap out, but before he could do that Werdum was already celebrating his win with laughter.<\/p>\n

“I’m so happy. It was awesome. It was a war, a great fight,” Werdum told Portal do Vale Tudo<\/a>. “Velasquez is such a tough guy, a really hard opponent, but I was able to do my strategy and do it all according to the plan. I’ve been training that guillotine for a long time, I thought of it and practiced it a lot. When I saw the opportunity, I knew I wasn’t going to let it go, I even started to laugh before he tapped.”<\/p>\n

Werdum continued his celebration in the octagon with his corner, but challengers are quickly lining up to take him down. Who do you think is next in line?<\/p>\n
